De Leon Repeats as CoSIDA Academic All-District

Chaminade University defender Lyric De Leon (Kapolei, O'ahu, Hawai'i/Grand Canyon University/Kapolei HS) on Thursday was named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District 8 Team, as voted by members of CoSIDA.
 
It is a repeat award for the senior who was also selected for the award this past spring. De Leon used the NCAA's season-of-competition waiver for a fifth year, owns a 3.87 grade-point average and graduated with a degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice in the spring. He is taking graduate courses this fall.
 
De Leon helped the 'Swords achieve their first-ever back-to-back winning seasons in 2018 and '19 and this season. He has a program-record 57 starts and with 5,120 minutes logged, is the only Silversword to record over 5,000 minutes in a career.
 
De Leon is now eligible for CoSIDA Academic All-America honors which will be announced in early December.
 
The Division II CoSIDA Academic All-America programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II national governance structure to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2021-22 Division II Academic All-America programs.
